In general, teaching ESNED in ESP program at PGMI Department UIN Mataram focused on grammar with unattractive method. This was caused by the unavailability of teaching material, students' workbook, which was written based on the need analysis and integrating the Islamic values. Furthermore, this study was aimed to develop Islamic integrated materials in the form of students' workbook for teaching ESP at Islamic Elementary School Teachers (PGMI) Department of UIN Mataram. Hence, this study employed a research and development method with quantitative and qualitative data that were acquired from experts' validations and 100 PGMI ESP students' responses. The data collection techniques were survey, questionnaire, and in-depth interview. The study showed that the developed material contains some strengths and weaknesses due to its practical usage which may be used as consideration for further research.
